| Slownenberg said: New Star Fox would of course be well appreciated by fans. Zelda OoT Remake could be anywhere from "meh who needs to redo it" to "damn they made a legendary 30 year old game into a legendary modern epic". Switch Sports successor is meh, as Switch Sports felt like a pretty lackluster affair. I expected much more out of that game considering how good Wii Sports was as a mere free tech demo. But who knows maybe they'll put more effort into it this time around. But the real news, if true, would be no 3D Mario this year either. That would be CRAAAAZZZYYYYYY. It was already nuts 3D Mario didn't come out on launch day, it was then absurd it wasn't a holiday game to give the new system a killer must have mega selling game for it's first holidays considering the overall pretty dang weak lineup in its first year. But now with the Mario Movie release coming up if Nintendo is completely blowing off releasing 3D Mario soon after the movie, or even this year at all...like jesus christ some project managers or whoever needs to be fired because they've had all the time in the world to get 3D Mario ready for the system launch so if it comes out a full 2 or 2.5 years late that is beyond ridiculous. |
That's just the reality of modern game development ... any game of large scope takes way longer to make once you cross into PS4/PS5 graphics tier level of production.
On the flipside I take this as a good thing that the next Mario is going to really be made to be a generational leap over Mario Odyssey that is specifically built for Switch 2 hardware and not just a quick Mario Odyssey 2 type of thing.
